Best Answer

Tornadoes cannot collapse in on themselves. In many cases a tornado will become much narrower as it enters its dissipating stage, and is said to be "roping out." During this stage the winds in the tornado may actually speed up as angular momentum is conserved. It is still considered a tornado until it dissipates completely.
